Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder and Section 326 read with Section 34 IPC for causing grievous hurt, affirming the life sentence and three years of rigorous imprisonment respectively. The Court found that the High Court had not properly considered the appeal, which constituted a violation of the appellants' right to a fair hearing. Consequently, the Court remitted the case back to the High Court for a fresh consideration of the appeal.
